Active Directory Problems

I have a small AD network. I am not very familiar with AD so I apologize if
I state things poorly.



We had three servers (Server 2003 SE) running AD and DSN which I will refer
to as server1, server2, server3. Server1 and server2 were on-line from day
one. Server3 was added much later. Server3 has now gone into total melt
down on us and we are running on the original server2.



I have discovered that when I do simple things like add a share on a
workstation I only get the hostname as a location to add users from. My
domain is no longer there.



I can't open existing shares from the workstations in the domains. I can
open them from the servers.



I ran "NETDOM query fsmo" and got the following result.



Schema owner server2.vcg.umn.edu

Domain role owner server2.vcg.umn.edu

PDC role server1.vcg.umn.edu

RID pool manager server2.vcg.umn.edu

Infrastructure owner server1.vcg.umn.edu



The command completed successfully.



Obviously server3 going away has affected things. I need to get back to
where I was but I don't know where to start.





Any help is greatly appreciated.
